How big is the Zelda fanbase though, these days? Series sales have been in decline since Twilight Princess.

And Nintendo saying its the "ultimate Zelda" means nothing, it's just PR.

We had only one 3D Zelda after TP that is best selling Zelda, and sales of Zeldas for 3DS are pretty solid.

Well that world of Zelda U looks to me like world of "ultimate Zelda". And definitely not just a PR talk, I expecting that Zelda U will be of the best Zelda games and they said that they going back to Zelda roots with Zelda U.

Let's look at the series sales over the last decade:

TP: (Wii + GCN) 8.8 million

Phantom Hourglass: 5.1m

Spirit Tracks: 3.3m

Skyward Sword: 4m

Link Between Worlds: 2.7m

That is a franchise in decline.

 

And also, your personal opinion of whether it will be the best/biggest isn't really applicable to public perception.
